So, the move is over. Thank God! I didn't get to the spa this weekend, but rescheduled for next weekend instead. We are officially out of the lovely (new construction) condo, and fully moved into our wonderfully OLD house. I will miss that beautifully new kitchen... but, I am trading it for pocket doors, creaky floors, and a huge backyard.

Before I dig myself out from the cardboard (that is taking over every square foot of the first floor!), I did some JCrew shopping. Thanks to a wonderful gift card credit (thanks, Mom!), I bought myself some new clothes, and this beauty! Perfect for flea market shopping this Spring (which can't come soon enough!)...

P.S. I must redeem the folks at Verizon. On Tuesday, a very nice Indian boy magically fixed everything, and now I clearly have an internet connection! He seriously had super powers. So, I sort of feel badly for bashing them earlier. But, not that bad. My sweet Indian boyfriend was a diamond in the rough, I think.

Enjoy you new old house. We love our arts and crafts home that was built in 1921 from an Alladin Kit. It has such lovely built-ins and woodwork that really can't be duplicated today. Fortunately it had been lovingly cared for and updated and was in move-in condition. We did add two bedrooms, a sitting room and bathroom upstairs so guess it technically is no longer a bungalow.

Reading your Verizon p.s. I can't help but think about the call center scene in Slumdog Millionaire where the techs are trying to convince their callers that they are actually in Great Britain! Cute bag btw!
